The Neurosurgical Spine Center

The Johns Hopkins Neurosurgical Spine Center offers comprehensive non-surgical and surgical treatments for the full spectrum of spinal disorders.

What's New in Our Center?

 

Who We Are

Our experts in spine care specialize in disorders including degenerative conditions of the spine, such as cervical or lumbar spinal stenosis, cervical or lumbar disc herniation, and scoliosis or adult deformity of the spine. We have specific expertise in the management of spinal cord and spinal column tumors and also treat spinal trauma and injuries to the spine.

Our approach to degenerative conditions of the spine may include minimally invasive surgery, traditional open and spinal fusion procedures, motion preservation/disc arthroplasty/replacement, or dynamic stabilization of the spine.

The neurosurgical team at the Johns Hopkins Neurosurgical Spine Center sees patients at both The Johns Hopkins Hospital and the Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center. Furthermore, we are fully integrated with the neurosurgical spine division of The Johns Hopkins Hospital, and therefore, our experts participate in cutting edge research in the areas of basic science and clinical trials.
